Most Severe Recalls

High Priority

AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE — Your vehicle's air bag control module might not work properly due to a low battery condition, which could cause an error code and prevent air bags from deploying in a crash.

High Priority

TIRES:VALVE — Your 2021 Mazda3 or CX-30 has a potential issue with the tire air valve. Air may leak out suddenly, which can cause problems.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER — Your 2020 Mazda CX-30 or Mazda3 may have brake caliper bolts that weren't tightened properly during assembly, which could cause problems with your brakes.

ENGINE — Your Mazda vehicle may have a software issue that can cause the engine to stall, which could be caused by a mistake in the powertrain control module.

High Priority

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS — Your 2019 Mazda3 has a problem with the lug nuts on all four wheels that could cause them to loosen and come loose, potentially leading to a wheel detaching from the vehicle.
